Hutch man enters pleas on some charges, others dropped

Broadfoot

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A local man bound over for trial in a child sex case for a second time and then arrested on new charges entered pleas in one case Monday while other charges were dropped.

Kenneth Broadfoot entered pleas to a charge of indecent liberties and aggravated indecent liberties with a child. In exchange for that plea, District Attorney Keith Schroeder agreed to drop all the other counts.

Hutchinson Police had reported that Broadfoot was arrested after he allegedly made phone calls to an underage girl. When the girl was questioned by police, she admitted to the encounters. Police could not say how long the two had been in a relationship, but say it could have been more than a year.

Broadfoot was also facing trial for criminal sodomy involving a 15-year-old girl back in September 2015 following a sexual encounter that, while consensual, still violates Kansas law. That occurred at the Kansas State Fair.

Sentencing in the case is set for Dec. 16 in front of Judge Tim Chambers.
